I as a former UI claims rep know first hand that what you say is true! As a business owner you have the facts, and I wasn’t going to step into the debate any further. My own personal experience with “salary in lieu of wages” included a job loss, due to a RIF and the closure of a regional...

Great choice and very considerate of an overwhelmed system!

The word “retirement” I just reread your post where you mentioned retirement. That will make a difference in regard to benefits but it all sounds pretty slick and you appear to have come out with a great departure package. Good Luck and enjoy yourself!

Consideration? Wow! That’s a new one and I don’t have to understand it’s use.

To clarify for all about “severance” and “salary in lieu of wages”. If your notice states severance then you would be able to collect UI benefits while still being paid by your former employer. If it states the latter then you must exhaust those wages and then file for UI. Depending on your...

I kept it classy by finishing my assigned tasks on a Friday about 10 Years ago and packed up my desk into bags and walk out and never returned. One coworker knew I was going and really considered doing the same with me but she decided to stay and hang in although quite miserable. It wasn’t...

The weekly testing doesn’t really use much fuel. We are still on the original fill of 250 gallons of propane and it has been nearly 5 years since the gen was installed. Don’t forget that comfort and safety is worth ...well it’s priceless in our opinion. I certainly understand the cost is...

Our homes often become our enemy Great thought must be given to the future situations we live in. From experience with an elderly father who needed a lot of consideration with mobility I feel I can add a couple of pennies to the conversation. We have a large ranch style and we set up our wing...

Great Advice!!! From personal experience I speak the following: The SSA has an amazing database in that they have facts about your life, you didn't even know yourself. I once accompanied a client to his benefits interview and he found out he had a middle name unknown to him for 60 plus years...

Seasoned camper here and I’ll qualify that with a variety of scenarios I’ve personally experienced. Tents, pop up tent trailers, VW camper, motor home, and Trailer. I suggest you you wait and find an RV show in your area so you can look at everything in one place. Use that information to help...

Experienced advice For years I was UI intake at Texas Workforce Commission. My advice, register for UI immediately wherever you are, follow through with registering as a job seeker and comply with your state’s work search requirements. It can vary from locale based on the economy. Apply...

Okay, I'm ready to move on and thank you one and all for your thoughtful consideration and replies... who got more out of what I was sharing than my lack of paragraphs, and yes it was rude to submit corrections. Arrogant style, guaranteed to push the buttons of those offended was never my...

Congratulations! There's always one of you on a site and if you can't read it then simply just look away! Thank you!
